Energy & Recovery Tips
With the Bath Half Marathon approaching we have brought you some tips from Maximuscle on how to improve your energy and recovery times.
1. MAINTAIN ENERGY LEVELS AND FUEL YOUR WORKOUTS
Eating five to six meals a day provides your body with a constant energy supply.
2. STAY HYDRATED
Training causes you to sweat amd lose water, salts and minerals. Not replacing these can cause dehydration.
3. RECOVER EFFECTIVELY
With the large exercise loads that endurance athletes commonly have, it's imperative to maximise recovery by introducing the right nbutrients after training.
4. DON'T NEGLECT PROTEIN
To help repair and rebuild damaged muscle tissue, make sure to eat plenty of protein - around 2 grams per kilogram of bodyweight.
5. IMPROVE MENTAL FOCUS
Branch chain amino acids are found in some proteins and have been shown to prevent imbalnces that could cause mental fatigue.
